Especially when old spells are misread
He magicked a canary
But alas, O'contrary

And gobble an avian snack

Oh what a disgrace
To get his own medecine back!

Soft wings glide at night 
Dancing colors in the sky 
Silent wish of flight 
Through my dreams they flutter by 
Golden tales of lullaby.

Premium Member Picture Prompt - Two for tea

They booked the restaurant two for tea.
The giraffes turned up promptly at three.
              They were way too tall you know. 
              The roof was too low and so,
They used the window to gain entry.

Today mice have nothing to fear
I'm quite comfortable sitting here
for it's my turn to slouch
and chill out on the couch
so pass the popcorn and the beer!

we took pity on you poor kitty 
but now this kitty has no pity,
He's king of our castle 
exposing his tassel
while on our new couch looking pretty.

Pied Beauty

Maybe God wanted to paint 
this charming creature white;
but when about to finish, 
ran out of paint;
And the result—a pied beauty!

Of all shapes and sizes waiting in lines
It's hot and muggy out
Yet these bow-wows are stout
For they find relief in finding their shrines

Rose Buds

You gather us in ransom to others joy,
Clustered together; graceful your smile.

Bewitched the admirers venture to muse;
For art is priceless and eternal.

Come To Me

Come to me
Lift me up
Feel our hearts
Beating as one
Skin to skin
Look deep into my eyes
Kiss my quivering lips
You have my mind
You have my heart
You have my love
Never let me down

woo wafts
pass through
embodied operatic night
whilst moonlight melody scatter
starlight scents
caress her delicate breast
blush face
wring the celestial body
out of its passion.

Yes I am
The Bandit
Cornered the market in   Cool
And yes
Stolen the best seat in the house 

Now would you be a pet and fetch me a saucer of milk?

        alluring, tempting closeness.
        Soft amour in elegance.

Midnight magic floats
Through a warm candlelit nook
Little heart takes notes
Of butterfly tales in books
Lost in soft starlit chapbooks
